Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0075695A2] 1. A bi-dimensional semiconductor image sensor comprising sensor elements which are integrated in a doped semiconductor body (1) of a first conductivity type and are arranged in rows and columns, where the sensor elements each consists of a field effect selector transistor (T1) which has an insulated gate (15) and a light-sensitive element which represents part of a photoconductor layer (9) and is located between a transparent top electrode (12) and a coupling electrode (6) which is connected to the selector transistor, where row lines and column lines are provided, of which the row lines (15') are connected to the gates (15) of the selector transistors and the column lines (17) are conductively connected to terminal zones of the selector transistors, characterised in that the sensor elements of adjacent rows (15', 21') are combined in columns, where the terminal zones of the selector transistors of two sensor elements assigned to same column line (17), consist of a single semiconductor zone (3) which is common to both sensor elements and which is connected to the column line (17).
